Karl Rove and the GOP Establishment bashed Christine O’Donnell and pointed out her flaws. But since everyone hated the establishment more, they failed to reason that O’Donnell was indeed flawed. I think we got our proof last night when she endorsed Romney.
Then, in 2008, there were people (including on this site) that led a campaign to stop John McCain with Mitt Romney, despite the fact that Romney was just as non-conservative if not more so than John McCain. But that was overlooked.
It took 4 years but now people realize Romney is a RINO.
And now, 2012. Newt is a RINO that’s mastered the art of talking two sides of an issue and sounding “above the fray”. But that is being overlooked in an attempt to take down Romney. We all know Newt’s record, but now people want to polish his past non-conservative deeds and misstatements and explain them away. If somebody brings up these valid points about Newt, they get ridiculed, because Rove, NRO, Coulter, and the GOP Establishment came out against Newt.
They can’t get their critical reasoning skills to work beyond that.
This is stupid. NRO and Coulter are both right in pointing out that Newt is NOT the answer. FReepers here that want to blind themselves to this truth solely because they are shilling for RINO Romney, you’re only fooling yourself.
Mark Levin’s Daily Temperature Poll today. Who is more Conservative (Romney or Gingrich)? This question was asked before and many people (including myself) griped there wasn’t a “Neither” choice. Well, there’s one in this poll today. See and vote for yourself.

Neither 58%
Gingrich 38%
Romney 4%
A majority of conservatives still realize Newt is NOT the answer. 20 days to fix this disaster with Bachmann, Perry, or Santorum.
It's not that she didn't have her flaws, it's just that Castle had a lot more flaws.
Having him in the Senate would have been no diff than having Jumpin' Jim Jeffords in the Senate, IOW probably worse than a Dem as at least the Dems are in front of you when you fight them.
And Christine's primary win showed we are sick of the one-way street the Pub establishment had created for conservatives.
I guess it still hasn't learned its lesson.
Well said, I personally can’t get past the 2 mistresses thing, and although I can see that some may find that shortsighted it is something this conservative can’t stomach. I can’t believe we are stuck with this field of candidates, very sad
